Unity Free version or 30-day pro trial

Unity Engine

Hi,

I’ve downloaded and installed Unity in the last couple of hours, I’m trying to figure out if I have just the features of the Unity free version or if you automatically get the 30-day pro trial free.

I noticed when I select about unity, it says down the bottom “License Type: Unity” and I believe I selected the free version when it made me register when I first opened the program.

The reason I’m confused is that I have been trying the SmartFoxServer at the same time, and have been running the demo that comes with it. The demo uses a .dll file under a folder in assets called plugins.

So, I’m not sure if this is a special type of plugin (like a C# one not a C/C++/Objective-C one or something) that Unity free version can load, or if it will simply stop working in 30 days time.

Thanks for your time.

if the library is a C++ dll it will stop working.
but from what I recall its a .net assembly and will just work fine.

An easy way to tell if you have the free version of Unity (and it sounds like you do) is to create a light, create a few objects, and then try to cast shadows with the light. Unity Pro is the only one that can do shadow casting.
